Graphene and graphene-based materials have recently gained enormous importance in biological domain besides its multifarious applications in other domains like electronics, robotics, material science, sensing etc. The extraordinary physicochemical properties possessed by this wonderful nanomaterial have paved the road to find its utilities in biological field. Moreover, the sudden COVID-19 pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has immensely widened the research on graphene and graphene-based materials. This short review presents the potentials of graphene and graphene-based materials that can play a vital role to combat against the current COVID-19 and future pandemics. In this regard application of graphene and graphene-based materials as bio-sensors, wearable devices, PPEs and face masks, antiviral surfaces and coatings, filters and membranes, 3D printing etc are briefly discussed. Further the limitations of these materials are pointed out.
